Welcome to Winterville

Winterville, Book 1

By: Carrie Elks

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

He's the kind of man who always gets what he wants. But this time, she's going to make him work for it...

When a ruthless company buys Holly Winter’s small hometown, she’s determined to stop them. But then she comes face to face with the CEO.

Josh Gerber is handsome, smooth, and disgustingly successful. He’s also the man Holly spent a night with eight years ago. And now he’s back to steal the home she’s always loved.

If anybody can stand up to him, Holly can. She’s clever, single-minded, and most of all, she understands his weaknesses. She has the same ones, after all.

But the more she fights him, the stronger the attraction between them grows. Before long, their arguments are ending in deliciously hot, stolen kisses that make her forget that Josh is supposed to be her enemy.

Holly may be able to save Winterville, but will she have to sacrifice her heart in the process?

It’s A Wonderful Life meets The Hating Game in this fun and feisty festive romance. Take a trip to Winterville today.

Cute Romance

I've never heard of this book before, but so glad I have it a shot. Cute Romance with happy endings. Jolly makes a wonderful couple! 😉☺️

I would listen to it again, I guess

A few things, at least twice it seems like the scene location changes in the middle of the scene, unbeknownst to the reader. When they “fight”, the MMC is a huge red flag. Also, “lick my wounds” is such a freaking disgusting metaphor. This is actually a cute story and I would probably read/listen to it again. But maybe this author needs to have someone read her book before it’s published?

Enjoyable holiday storytelling!

Josh and Holly’s battle of the sexes unites a Christmas adverse corporate raider and a Christmas obsessed forensic accountant who find themselves drawing battle lines in a magical town that treasures Christmas 365 days of the year. It’s a second chance reunion 8 years in the making loaded with verbal jousting, suggestive banter and secretive battle plans that will affect the entire town. Both characters have emotional triggers from childhood that have made them the adults they are today and mixing business and pleasure is always a sticky wicket. I really enjoyed the tight knit bond between the six pack of cousins who are determined to save their beloved grandmother’s legacy. It’s an appealing romance with loads of holiday charm and a happily ever after that I enjoyed along with the entertaining narration performance of Jennifer Jill Araya.
